I wish AI leaders would fund more data archival projects, instead of hoarding it themselves. They could build a lot of goodwill, but the current state of the art is destroying old books and denying anyone access to them.

These archival projects have an enormous impact, though they are chronically underfunded. I wish there were a strong economic incentive to support them.
